I protested the Vietnam War from the time I was 17. 1969 was late to turn against the Pentagon, but I never wavered from my commitment to stop the destruction of a country 9000 miles from the USA. The Pentagon has yet to honor my service against the war effort with a pension despite three letters to demand some compensation for my anti-war standing.
Some men my age are not so determined to follow the path of peace and this week the AG of Connecticut said to a gathering, "Military service has been important since the days that I served in Vietnam and you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.”
Sounds great except the Democratic candidate for the US Senate never served in Vietnam and even served in the Nixon white House during those years. He did enlist in the Marine Reserve to dole out Toys for Tots.
Opps but this wasn't the first time he claimed to have fought in the War or the second. What else can you expect from a fucking lawyer?
At least I remain pure to my beliefs.
Fuck the rich.
